Canuck

Canuck is a slang term for a Canadian, though there are numerous contextual variations on the word's meaning. A variety of theories have been postulated for the etymological origins of the term. The term Kanuck is first recorded in 1835 as a Canadianism, originally referring to French Canadians. By the 1850s, the spelling with a "C" became predominant. Today, many Canadians and others use Canuck as a mostly affectionate term for any Canadian.
